  Tiff transparency issue

  Posted by Andre Monteiro on February 21, 2010 at 10:48 am

  Hi i’m having a problem on making a gif animation and hope somebody can give me a hand here.
  I’ve exported a tiff sequence from cinema 4d with alpha enabled. Then in Photoshop,when i import the images they are opaque (with black background)
  The original layer has an alpha channel but when i place it in to a new layer the alpha is gone.
  Sorry for my ignorance, i’m just a beginner in ps.
  Thank you for this wonderful resource spot!

  You can load the alpha and apply as a layer mask (if you need to see the transparency in PS)

  Otherwise… trust its there and will show up in a video or animation program

  if you want transparency in PS.. save as a PNG sequence.
